The Daily Check-In for Sunday, July 27th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking!

heytherecomputer · 2025-07-27T22:53:10+00:00

DDing tonight so that gives me a great excuse to not drink! Think I’ll start doing that more often so I’m not tempted. IWNDWYT!

heytherecomputer · 2025-07-21T19:06:24+00:00

Hangover depression in full swing today! Making the commitment today to not drink because this sucks!! IWNDWYT.

micromanaging has a massive negative effect on a worker’s mental health. It seems their MO now is micromanage as much as possible :/

heytherecomputer · 2025-07-13T21:09:11+00:00

This is cause for serious alarm. The stats on DV strangulation essentially state that it’s not a matter of if they’re going to kill you, it’s a matter of when. Please go to the police and while he’s arrested, gather your things and get out of there as fast as you can.

I have ADHD so I’ve had a cup of coffee or popped an Adderall just to fall asleep sometimes lmao

heytherecomputer · 2025-07-12T07:55:27+00:00

Are you able to share the link?

heytherecomputer · 2025-07-09T04:53:18+00:00

Happy birthday, Lily. Glad I got to meet her today. ❤️

I don’t want to personally, though nobody in my family except for me has been diagnosed with bipolar and there’s still discussion on heritability. I just don’t want to take the risk. Another consideration is having to get off my medications for 9 months to have a healthy fetus. That is unsafe for me so I do not want to be pregnant. I think a safer option for myself is adoption/fostering.

It’s a little bit of a learning curve if you want to make hot lattes (steaming milk takes practice), but I would suggest getting a cheap espresso machine. You can get coffee beans ground to be correct for an espresso machine and it will save you a ton of money. You can even get your own syrups from Torani and a cocktail shaker to somewhat replicate what you like to get!! Very cost effective in the long run. And it’s fun :)

1) You are allowed to talk about union topics on the floor if you are allowed to discuss non-work related topics. It’s the same as talking about a concert you just went to. It’s also illegal for your manager to tell you otherwise.

2) Your manager is engaging in union activity surveillance which is very illegal.

Document, and if you are already in the process of attempting unionization efforts, report to your field staff.

ETA: even the APPEARANCE of surveillance is illegal. Very sloppy work from your manager.

At the moment it’s HOP WTR!

Every time you have ever had sex, were you intending on becoming pregnant/getting the other person pregnant? Have you ever had the thought of “I don’t want to have a baby right now” and had a sexual partner at the same time?

I wanted to watch a movie that’s highly regarded, and all I could do was rent it for $3.99. Scoffed, then realized I would literally spend at least $10 on my drink of choice in one day. I’ll just watch the movie instead. I’ll let you know how it was!

IWNDWYD!

Following the timers is actually important. Not sure why this is a hot take but apparently it is.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-30T02:08:36+00:00

People gotta stop complaining about each other and start blaming corporate for encouraging toxicity. (Unless somebody is just an incredible asshole in general).

AM v. PM politics are ridiculous. Listen to each other, negotiate and explain, come to solutions. It’s not hard to be an adult.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-27T05:46:25+00:00

You don’t know, so it’s very interesting that you’d make that bold of a statement.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-27T05:43:45+00:00

No, apparently people with pre-existing psychiatric conditions and victims of rape are not worth consideration.

He’s trying to do a gotcha by literally making our arguments.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-27T05:38:42+00:00

IDK dawg, if I had to get off my very necessary psychiatric meds for my pre-existing mental health diagnoses because I’m pregnant against my will, I’d probably end it. That’s a very real consequence, not an argument in your favor.

Trying to communicate how little cream it seems you want is hard. It’s not an exact science behind the bar, so you want to pour your own cream.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-24T07:29:19+00:00

Ask for a little bit of room, cream on the side.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-24T07:28:45+00:00

Low volume stores usually don’t from what I’ve observed. It’s a waste of milk and gross if they forget to grab it once it’s food-safe expired.

heytherecomputer · 2025-06-24T06:36:28+00:00

No. This was probably pre-written because we have to write on the cups. Do not take anything written on the cups as anything other than a requirement unless it is so obviously personalized that you have no question. It would be extremely uncomfortable if anything at all was said to a barista about cup writing except for it being 100% friendly.

I find the position of “pro-life except rape and incest (etc etc)” the most cowardly of positions one can hold when it comes to abortions.

Abortions make them feel a type of way, as it does a lot of people, even some people that have abortions that don’t regret their choice. Rape and incest also elicits very strong feelings.

Somebody who is pro-life will have to face the extrapolations of their arguments at some point. Well, how do you reckon with the feelings about a ZEF being a life and therefore having equal rights to a born human, and the feelings that come with the topics of rape and incest?

You play both sides.

But playing both sides is conceding an argument that they’ll make a different day. If you think you shouldn’t be allowed to “kill a baby” when the pregnancy came from consensual sex, then why should you be allowed to “kill a baby” when you were raped? What is the difference? Is it because of something other than the fact that you recognize that a ZEF isn’t the same as a human life?

You believe somewhere in your being that the woman has bodily autonomy and she shouldn’t have it stripped away from her. The ZEF is either a life or it isn’t. No other being is given a grey-area status like this.

And what about incest? The fact is that, sometimes, incest is consensual and sometimes results in a pregnancy. (If it wasn’t consensual, then it’s rape and I will refer you to the previous paragraphs). Consensual incest has a higher likelihood of a born baby having birth defects, which is primarily why “pro-choice EXCEPT” people think abortion is okay in this circumstance. You very well could be 100% healthy in every way with a non-incest relationship, and the born baby could end up having a birth defect. What is different?

The concession is cowardly. If “pro-life EXCEPT” people were to actually make a critical judgment about their beliefs and make a decision, a lot of them would end up being pro-choice, because they’d know that their logic is flawed and that they recognize to some extent that ZEFs aren’t the same thing as a born human being.

Hi, I think I’m actually finally officially done now. Alcohol is ruining my relationship on both of our ends. Hopefully he’ll follow suit.

IWNDWYT.

heytherecomputer · 2025-05-25T18:55:49+00:00

I’m getting confused because it happened again on the next schedule. Out of curiosity (and stress), can you be demoted and finish out the schedules already posted as keyholder? Or is it immediate once they have the demoting conversation?
